Amazon.com essential video:
In the fall of 1979, Sam Raimi and his merry band headed into the woods of rural Tennessee to make a movie. They emerged with a roller coaster of a film packed with shocks, gore, and wild humor, a film that remains a benchmark for the genre. Ash (cult favorite Bruce Campbell) and four friends arrive at a backwoods cabin for a vacation, where they find a tape recorder containing incantations from an ancient book of the dead. When they play the tape, evil forces are unleashed, and one by one the friends are possessed. Wouldn't you know it, the only way to kill a 'deadite' is by total bodily dismemberment, and soon the blood starts to fly. Raimi injects tremendous energy into this simple plot, using the claustrophobic set, disorienting camera angles, and even the graininess of the film stock itself to create an atmosphere of dread, punctuated by a relentless series of jump-out-of-your-seat shocks. The Evil Dead lacks the more highly developed sense of the absurd that distinguish later entries in the series--Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness--but it is still much more than a gore movie. It marks the appearance of one of the most original and visually exciting directors of his generation, and it stands as a monument to the triumph of imagination over budget. --Simon Leake

Rating:  - The Woods Are Full Of Psychotic Hillbillies, Cannibalistic Mutants, and Now Demons
"The Evil Dead" is an innovative, ground-breaking horror classic that has developed a cult following.Director Sam Raimi ("Darkman" and "Spiderman") was highly influenced by other well established horror megahits such as "The Exorcist," "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," and "Night of the Living Dead."A young Bruce Campbell ("Maniac Cop," "The Woods," and "Bubba Ho-Tep") is college student Ash; him and his friends rent a secluded cabin in the mountains.("The Evil Dead" was filmed mostly in the ...

Rating: - Evil Dead
As far as teenage horror movies go this is pretty decent stuff. It is easy to see the tongue in cheek humor as well. I can see why it is a cult favorite. Part of a trilogy I think they got better as actor Bruce Campbell and Director Sam Raimi felt comfortable with this theme and took it further and further. By the time they got to "Army of Darkness" it became mostly comedy with some horror. AOD is my favorite of the three because of the outrageous bits and great special effects. This is a great collection ... Read More
Rating:  - Back in the Day, Ashley was a Man and HE Couldn't Sing Either.
But we fans of "Evil Dead" certainly don't care.It's not his singing skills we're interested in.What we want to know is this; can the man still decapitate with the swing of a shovel?Well, of course he can!As long as you own this or "Evil Dead II" you'll get to watch him do it over and over as often as you want.For me, this is the scene that defines what "Evil Dead" is all about in a nutshell:
-Creative camera work.
-Spirited if not talented actors.
-Audacious, imaginative gore. ... Read More

Rating: - As a "serious" movie, this is awful, and I LOVE IT!
In order to enjoy this movie, you simply cannot take it seriously.If you watch it expecting to be scared or enlightened, you will be severely disappointed.However, if you're just looking for a brainless good time, you need look no further.The bad special effects and overdone acting make for a wonderfully campy and hilarious combination.
